Quotations
Religion
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
- Alan Watts

Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.

- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
- Deep Trivedi

The role of religion is to make one righteous and loving. Politics means caring for people and their welfare. When religion and politics don’t coexist then you have corrupt politicians and pseudo-religious leaders.

- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
- Thomas Paine
I had a thousand questions to ask God; but when I met him they all fled and didn't seem to matter.
- Christopher Morley
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)... Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits and sannyasins?
- Deep Trivedi
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
- Deb Caletti
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
- José Saramago
